The UW-Green Bay Alumni Association is hosting a reception event this upcoming Saturday, February 2 at the Green Bay Women’s Basketball game against UIC.

Cost is $7 for alumni and $10 for non alumni guests and includes your ticket to the game. There will be great food and drink along with other cool stuff to cheer on the Green Bay Phoenix. The game begins at 2 p.m. There will also be chances to win fantastic prizes.

Due to the exciting Packers playoff game taking place this upcoming Saturday, we have decided to cancel the UW-Green Bay Men’s Basketball Reception; which was to take place the same day. We will reschedule for a later date so please watch for the upcoming alumni e-newsletter and other communications for more information. Go Pack Go!

No reception, but the Phoenix games still a go.

In celebration of a tripleheader of Green Bay sporting events, the Phoenix is offering “Back-to-Back-to-Pack” promotions this Saturday:

The Phoenix women host Wright State at noon at the Kress Events Center (originally scheduled for 2 p.m.).

The Phoenix men play UIC at 3 p.m. at the Resch Center (a change from 7 p.m.)

We thought you might want to know some of the exciting things your Alumni Association Board accomplished in 2012. The alumni who serve on your board share a substantial amount of time and talent to move initiatives forward. They are doing a great job on your behalf. Here are some highlights of 2012:

$6,000 in scholarships were awarded to very deserving students. The awards committee selects two Annual Scholarship recipients, a Legacy Scholarship recipient and an Outstanding Student Award recipient in December and May. Much work goes into reviewing applications, interviewing students and awarding the students.

The board recruitment process was restructured. The board development committee put a very organized and strategic process in place to ensure the board is diverse and represents all of our alumni. This change will benefit all of us!

Alumni Golf Outing—The fundraising committee hosted a successful golf outing and is working to take it up a notch again this year. See photos of the 2012 Alumni Scholarship Golf Outing.

Commencement Reception—The board hosted a well attended Commencement reception in spring and welcomed new graduates in December. After the December Commencement Ceremony, graduates were congratulated and welcomed to the Alumni Association by a large group of alumni. It was a great way to meet our newest alumni.
